Singh, who has hosted the show since 2011, tweeted about his removal a day after he was seen at a rally protesting against the controversial Citizenship (Amendment) Act.

He hinted his involvement with the protests may have been the reason, saying it was a "small price" to pay for speaking up. 'And, my stint with Savdhaan India has ended', Sushant tweeted.

When asked if he was paying a price for speaking the truth, Sushant responded by tweeting, 'A very small price my friend. Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru, what will I reply to them?'

"If anyone is coming to take refuge in our country by leaving his home, family and country he can only be a mazloom (helpless) person. How can we see his religion and decide whether he should be given citizenship or not?" Singh asks Syed Firdaus Ashraf/Rediff.com.
